Former showroom interior
Many of you will be familiar with 2, High Street in Grantown, which has lain empty for the past seven years. Formerly the SSE and Clydesdale electrical showroom , the large shop window displayed TVs, fridges and freezers.
The Grantown Society which celebrates it’s 50th anniversary in 2024 has been looking for a permanent home for several years. Working with the Scottish Land Fund, we thought the location would be ideal for a local hub providing services for the community and a home for the Society.
The needs of Grantown and the vicinity were strongly reinforced in a survey (2023).
In respect of community ownership of 2 High Street, these needs inspired three objectives.
Attract more people into Grantown’s High Street and support its regeneration, including provision of pop-up retail space and the availability of an ATM cash machine.
Provide modern co-working and meeting room space which will have high-speed broadband connectivity and excellent facilities, supporting Grantown to be an attractive place to visit, work and live.
Create a warm and welcoming space where people can drop in to learn more about what is happening in the local area and about Grantown’s history and heritage; the people and the place.
